Mr. Ambien Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 They're just doing it for the publicity at this point They've always done it for publicity. People keep giving them the attention they seek. Heeeeere comes another outrage at the umpteenth WBC funeral protest.. I ought to donate to these people. They're very good at trolling the supposedly intellectual masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Just a bunch of attention whores. Ignore them and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweathog Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 They're protesting his funeral because he played a gay character in Birdcage? I can't believe these Westboro people would want to publicize their stupidity like this, let alone the disrespect they're showing to Mr. Williams family.

Mr. Ambien Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Because trying to ignore them has worked so well I dig the foam-at-the-mouth-with-anger approach. It brings me back to 15 years ago when trolling the internet was ridiculously easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It is a travesty that these fucktards exist, and if they were to protest a funeral of a family member of mine, I'd hurt them. The family is truly the only party in this situation that has the right to tale umbrage with this vermin. But at the same time, it is free speech, no matter how vile.

Offensive Threat Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I was hoping the death of Fred Phelps, the patriarch of the family,in March of this year would put an end to the group or at least make them a little more moderate. Guess not. Ignore em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 It is a travesty that these fracktards exist, and if they were to protest a funeral of a family member of mine, I'd hurt them. The family is truly the only party in this situation that has the right to tale umbrage with this vermin. But at the same time, it is free speech, no matter how vile. These fracktards would sue you into oblivion. The main members are all attorneys and very litigous. It's how they fund operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heeeeere comes another outrage at the umpteenth WBC funeral protest.. I ought to donate to these people. They're very good at trolling the supposedly intellectual masses. Well said! To everybody else, if you REALLY don't like these people, here's what you do: 1. Don't talk about them, write about them, think about them ext ect. 2. If you should happen to meet them, pay no attention at all to the rhetoric, but be as nice to them as you possibly can, If they are protesting and it's a cold day, go buy them some hot coffee. When they tell you your going to hell with the rest of the f@&&ots, you tell them "Of course but until them have a great day!" I guarantee they disappear within five years if everyone followed those principals. Some people and entities need to be fought, but this isn't one of them, they stay alive on people's attention and outrage. Take away the life support and there gone, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdatb Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Westboro is probably a good reason some people like to mindlessly hate on religion. I really can't blame you if you feel that way though, since they are absolutely repulsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These whackjobs would still be here...they stay alive on their own vile and momentum. By passing it off as everyone's else's doing, you let them off the hook. I do understand the whole "don't give them attention argument - but you just did, by commenting in this thread". Discussion isn't the problem here, these lunatics are. These people are disgusting morons. Karma...may they rot in hell one day for their campaign of intolerance and filth. Not sure they shouldn't be charged with some sort of hate crimes. And "God hates"? Their message is a little kindergarten at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Ignore them? Remind me how well that worked for the losing side in every African conflict to date, European conflict? Middle East? How about the Khmer Rouge? Pohl Pot? The issue with ignoring hate is that it almost always finds a fertile ground to breed in. See the US Tea Party, ISIS, Nazi Germany, Italian Fascism. I think beyond my normal mindset that enough is enough. Burn the compound to the ground, take away the licenses of the 3 family members allowed to practice law and jail or imprison anyone doing this crap for indecency or at the very least offering an indignity to a dead body. Maybe harassment? Barring that take em all out back and help them meet their maker faster than they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
